Laurel with parents ! Fantastic blog and was forwarded to Julie and a young twenty year old student at Tulane U that spent a month in Ghana three years ago.,Keep the Travelblogs coming!. Hugs, Elaine
Happy Birthday, Laurel! Best wishes for an extra special birthday celebration, Laurel!! How wonderful that your parents are with you. I've been following your blog and thoroughly enjoying your sharing of life in Ghana and, in particular, your experiences with the kids and living in such a different culture. Thank you for all the detail. Love to you, Cousins, and extra props to the Birthday Girl, from Cousin Holly
Back in Accra We are back in Accra after a great time in the north with no internet. Now all we lack is regular electrical power. Hopefully both Laurel and I will soon be posting about her great bday in Larabanga with friends, and elephants. K
Kit and Kathy visit Laurel Your visit is sounding pretty great. Laurel must be so happy to have you there. I am excited to hear about your trip as you travel around Ghana.
Canopy bridge Hi Laurel, I think that the important thing is that you didn't let fear from keeping you from attempting it and you did it! I enjoy your writings so much. Your writing is informative, yet personal. Julie
Prison tour What an informative observation and tour. Hard to believe that the KluKlux Kan in America still active here. . I am so proud of your work with the people of Ghana. Hugs in the rain, Elaine
banku Hi Laurel, I've enjoyed following your adventure from afar. The photo of you making banku reminds me of I when I helped make sadza at a Zimbabwean music festival. I stirred the sadza in a kettle with a long paddle. However sadza is corn meal and is served like grits, not sliced in the manner you show for banku.
Enjoying your blogs! Hi Laurel, I am so enjoying reading your blogs. I didn't realized that I hadn't read quite a few of the later ones. It is so interesting to hear about all of your experiences. Thanks for sharing them with us!
You with all the children Hi Laura,
When I saw this photo with all of the children piled around you, I thought of the clay story teller dolls that the pueblo Indians make. You look just like one!
Great writing; great photos. Laurel -- I love your writing and all your photos. What a difference you are making in these kids' lives! Yes, I've been paying a little more attention to the Mariners, even think I helped them survive a rough 9th inning last night. Now they are starting to talk like they're going for the division title and not just the wild card. Shades of 1995. Keep up all the good work. Love -- Dad
Kokrobite!! Just got back from Big Milly's at Kokrobite (burnt like you) and had a great time, seen you've been to Ada Foah as well- I've just finished my first week in Accra so would be great to know which place you visited you'd really recommend? I also have a blog if you're interested in what this obruni is up to! http://anadventureinaccra.blog.com/
It's great to hear from someone else who's in Ghana. Other than Ada Foah and Big Milly's I've stayed around Accra. My friends and I love the Art Market, but make sure to go with someone who knows pricing so you don't get ripped off. We also hit up the nightclubs in Osu. We're friends with the owner of Hotgossip. Accra Mall is another favorite to give us a flavor of home.

More! Hi Laurel, I'm echoing your Grandmother's comment - more, more, more! I look forward to reading each entry in your blog (and of course the pictures) and wish I could be there too....
Hugs,

More details I love to read about your expeditions and to see your photos, but I would like to know more about what you do day by day. Are you teaching regular classes? If not, why not?
More, more, more........
I am really enjoying your blog! Hi Laurel, I'm your "stealth" blog follower, but decided I should let you know how much I'm enjoying your adventures. You rock it, girl! I'm impressed - I don't think I would have the nerve to do what you are doing. Enjoy and keep the blog and pictures coming. --Kit
Looking good, Laurel Laurel -- You look great in that dress. Looks like you had a great weekend and are having a god time all around. Keep it up. Love, Dad

I am touched by the script. I and the rest of Africa would miss your adventures for a vacuum is already created and is hard to believed
